Planetary Magic of the Sun

For this spell you will need

A piece of jewelry with a sun design on it.
A piece of blank 8.5×11 paper
A pencil, a yellow colored pencil or a regular pencil
A ceramic plate or bowl
7 yellow candles
A gold colored candle holder
Sun oil
Frankincense or Copal de Oro resin
Sun bath salts
Angelica
Bay leaves
Chamomile
Spring water
A clear glass jar
A small clean towel, like a tea towel, or a towel for drying dishes, 

Acquire a piece of jewelry with a sun design on it. Any kind of jewelry. A ring or pendant is recommended, but earrings or an earring is also good.

Take the spring water, and pour it into the glass jar. Add a teaspoon of Sun bath salts to it. Close the jar, and set it into a sunny place where it will sit in sunlight for at least an hour, before midday.  If you can place the jar in the sun at dawn, that would be ideal, and if you did this on a Sunday, that would be even better. Once the water has been suitably exposed, you now have Sun Water.

Take the paper and the pencil, and draw an image of the sun on the paper. It should fill the paper. A simple circle with 12 rays of light coming from it is enough. 

Set up the paper on a flat, steady surface, and in the center, place a bay leaf. Sprinkle pinches of angelica root, and chamomile onto the bay leaf and the sun design. You should have this prepared before the next step.

On a Sunday, at dawn, take the jewelry, and dip it in the sun water. Then dry it off with the towel, and anoint it with the sun oil.  Cover it with your plate upside down, and take the yellow candle. Anoint it with Sun oil, set it into the golden candle holder, and set it on top of the overturned plate. Light the candle.

Prepare incense charcoal for burning incense. Put either Frankincense or Copal de Oro to burn on the charcoal.

As the candle and incense burns say the following: 

Oh Noble Sun, exalted and resplendent. May you be blessed! Oh Mighty Sun! By your names I call to you, Shamash, Sol, Helios, Surya, As all the planets reflect your light, I ask that I may also reflect your light, and be made fortunate, exalted, and splendid through your power and grace. Imbue your dazzling radiance into this jewelry, transmit your light that it may shine through me when I wear this jewelry, granting me dominion and exaltation, that all people will look upon me with favor, and people with authority will elevate me to an exalted and sublime position, and that all manner of good luck, good fortune and blessings will abound upon me.

Then let the candle burn until it goes out.

You will repeat this spell, with dipping the jewelry in Sun water, anointing it with sun oil and burning the candle and reciting the prayer each day of the week. Each day it will be done at the Hour of the Sun in the morning for that day. You will need to identify the Hour of the Sun that happens before or at noon each day.

On the final day, Saturday, after the candle has finished, you can take the jewelry and begin wearing it, as your personal Sun talisman, You can wear it constantly, or only wear it when you feel that you need it to bring you success, good fortune and good luck, and to bring favor from people around you, especially people in positions of authority over you, like bosses, managers, executives etc…

Take the paper with Sun design and the herbs, and carefully fold it up into a little packet. You should keep this packet, and store the packet and your jewelry together when you take it off. 
You can keep the water and sprinkle it around your home, to fill it with blessings of the sun, or pour it over yourself, for a quick boost of Sun energy when you want it.

It is best if you do this spell when the Sun is in Aries or Leo, but it can also be successful when the Sun is in Sagittarius. You should avoid doing this when the Sun is in Aquarius or Libra. 

A Reconciliation spell with the waxing moon.

For this spell you will need
13 pink candles
A candle holder
A glass jar with a metal lid (2 oz size or less is recommended)
Sugar
Reconciliation Oil.
5 packets of Reconciliation Herb bath (enough for 13 days)
Reconciliation Powder
A fire proof plate
A slip of paper
A pen or a pencil with no eraser
A tool to inscribe candles, like a pin, needle, nail, etc…

This spell should be started on the first night of the new moon, when you can see the first sliver of the moon, also called The Turn of the Moon.
Take the slip of paper and on one side write your name. Across from your name, write the person, your lover, that you wish to reconcile with.
Take a dab of honey and put it on both your name and their name. Then fold the paper in half so your names come together, as if you were in a sweet kiss.
Fold this paper up two more times. Then place it into the jar. Cover the paper sugar until the jar is filled.Taste the sugar and then close the jar up.

Take one of the pink candles and inscribe on it “Your name, their name, Let us Reconcile”. Write this in a spiral around the candle, like on a barber pole or a candy cane. Until the candle is filled.

Take some of the reconciliation oil, and anoint the candle with the oil. Set the candle into the candle holder, and place the candle holder on top of the jar. Make a circle of reconciliation powder around the jar and candle set up. Light the candle. Let the candle burn down until it goes out.

As the candle burns, prepare the herb bath by steeping a teaspoon of the herbs in a quart/liter of hot water to make a tea.Add this tea to a bathtub of comfortable temperature water, or mix with a gallon of water in a large container to pour over yourself. Which ever method you use, collect a teaspoon of the bath water that has been in contact with your body, and keep it in bottle.

Repeat this every night for 13 nights. The last night should be the day just before the full moon.

The following night, take all the collected water from the 13 nights, and put all the reconciliation powder you used, and any wax remnants from the candles into a small paper bag, and go to the crossroads between Midnight and 3 am. While at the crossroads, call out the name of your lover that you wish to reconcile with. Call their name 7 times. Then pour out the accumulated water from your baths into the crossroads, and leave the paper bag with powder and wax in the crossroads, and call out saying “Let us reconcile, and be loving, sweet, kind and united”.
Then leave the crossroads without looking back. .


Loving it up

Tonight, I spent a good amount of time making various love products. Love bath salts, true love powder, love incense. I feel all kinds of loved up.

As I sat there making these products, each very different from each other in ingredients, I noticed some things. In my experience of love products they tend to three (3) certain types of scents. Those scents are sweet, floral, and musky. All three can be present in one product, but it is interesting to separate out the three into different products.

In this case, the Love bouquet bath was floral. As the strongest scents within it are lavender and rose, it makes sense. It was kind of refreshing because of that, and uplifting, like the feeling of new love, sweeping into your heart. The sparkle of infatuation and affection, or the sparkly new “I feel pretty and also a little twitter-pated” as well.

With a different scent was the True love powder. This just smelled sweet, a little green, but there was this vague, indescribable candy like smell. I don’t really know where it came from (as I didn’t really add any essential oils) and none of the herbs really seemed to smell like that either as I was measuring them out. Something about the process of grinding it up and mixing it together seemed to release this scent that wasn’t there before. That, or the Powers of Love were gracing me with their presence, which I don’t mind at all.

The final product, my Love incense, is a mixture of deep, heavy, musky smells. Patchouli figures strongly in this mixture, as does myrrh. My intent was something that is bit more sexy and seductive, and in a sense a bit more masculine, as floral scents are seen as being feminine, darker and muskier scents are seen as being more masculine. Suffice to say, I love this incense. It’s deep, it’s rich, and given time, I think it will develop some great complexity of scent. But I think it needs a lot of time to do that. I am going to give it a test run tomorrow though, just to see how it smells at the beginning. I have actually been sitting on the compounding of this incense for a while, as I made an oil from this recipe long ago, so I am curious to see how it comes out when I burn it. The oil I love as well, and as it is primarily rich, luxurious fixatives, it is really long lasting, and can be a little strong for some people. As it’s all botanical essential oils, I am impressed that it can last all day, while some of my other mixtures seem very fugitive in comparison.

Love, Love, Love, is really all I need right now.
